Hello friends, my name is Olivia. My teacher wanted me to tell you what I am doing on the front of my folder. I am discovering something new to the world. Something mysterious. Something very crazy to the world. That is what I am doing on my folder. Discovery is fun.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?

Our design is based on the Mangonel. Some solutions are rebuilding the catapult using materials more wisely. To rebuild the catapult. We chose it because we needed to rebuild our catapult and when we did, all our tape was stuck together.
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

Our whole design really worked. Our cup that held our spoon did not work that well. Our accuracy could have been a lot better. Try to put as much tape as possible on the cup so it stays down, and that is what would improve my catapult.
